Default Using MailMerge document cross platform (PC/Mac)

i have created a document in Word 2007 on a PC and want to be able to use it
on a Mac using Office 2008. Is there a known compatibility issue here? The
document opens with different merge fields than the original labeled 'F17' or
'F25' (an F plus a number), which don't match anything in the associated data
file (which isn't automatically attached either).

Similar problems when starting with the mac and trying to open/use on a PC.

When using a VM on the Mac, no problems - as long as I select 'NO' when
prompted to allow SQL to run on the original file. I get no such prompt when
opening the file on the Mac. Perhaps it is automatically running the SQL?
Can I change the default behavior?

Thanks for any help!
Tom
